Hello J.B. I bought the medium one for my two yorkies, one is 5 pounds and the other one 7 pounds and is perfect for them. The material is very resistent and you can adjust the straps. It has an strap inside to conect the collar so the dog cant jump outside. I think is perfect for your dog. I use it in a convertible volkswagen EOS. My dogs love it!

My dog is 16 pounds and loves it, however it does not sit really close to the window, so I'm not sure that your dog will be able to put his/her head out the window. My dog loves it because it holds him up high enough to see out in all directions. Hope this helps you.

In my opinion this is a great item. My 18 pound 1 year old dog loves to sit jn it. You have to be very consistant training the puppy to get in when the car starts but after a few times he now jumps right kn. It is eash to lift off when you need to move it and the adjustable straps allow it to sit high enough for your pet to look out the windows. My little Luca jumps on the console and into the baskey. I usr an additional padded car harness thay goes on like a regular dog harness. I do highly recommend this for safety while driving and prevents driving distractions. I use it in both a Nissan Maxima and Altima. It is very sturdy. In my opinion this is a great item. My 18 pound 1 year old dog loves to sit jn it.

It "might" be. Depending on your dogs body and neck length. I "think" you can adjust the strap to lengthen oit or make an extension. Sorry I can't help further.

I don't think so. My dog is 10 lbs. I think the size could handle 5 more pounds, but the strap is fairly short to keep the pooch safely in the basket. We do love the basket.

The strap would definitely be long enough since it does adjust. But, I would probably go up to the larger size so that your dog has room to lie down. I have a 6lb. Morkie and according to the description she could have fit into the smaller size but would never of had enough room to lie down. My suggestion to anyone who is looking to buy this product is to go up to the next size for this purpose. It is a wonderful carseat, I am very happy with it!

It is sturdy but I dont think stepping on the side would hold up if lots of pressure is put on it. Strap is plenty long. My Shih tzu is 12.4 pounds and she has room to lay down in it. She also puts her paws on the side to look out window and we have had no problems. This is a great seat.

JB hey there! We use this for our 18lb Jack Russell, and he loves it. The strap is actually adjustable, and we have measured just perfect so that he is safely away from the window, yest secure in the box. We have an Audi Q5.

Yes. I have a 70lb greyhound male, the strap doesn't get in the way at all.

My pom/shih tzu is 13lbs had no problems seeing out the windows. However, he wasn't able to actually stick his head out the window from the seat. I should warn you, the tether broke on mine

Your 15LB dog should fit no problem. My 12 pound dog travels all the time with room to spare.

Yes.. it is very sturdy. Takes a few times to get them used to walking on it.

My shih tzu is 15lbs and she fit in the bag but wasn't able to stand up completely. I would say not to go over 15-20 lbs.

We have a 75 lb Lab. Its really not that heavy and the strap is not that thick. It would probably be OK

Our westie is 12 inches high and it works well. Personally I think 15 high would not work. My dogs back barely clears .

Yes. My poodle is about 15 pounds and she can put her feet up on it but can't get over it. If they are jumpers they might could get over it but it is pretty high.

A large dog would have no problem stepping over this. My gate lasted a week it was not made very well.

It is very sturdy, but I cannot answer your question. My dog is under 50 pounds and it easily accomodates his weight.

My dog is about 15 pounds. She is very active and this harness holds her very comfortably and happily. There is also plenty of growth room in the harness itself. SW

I would definitely give it a shot! As long as the straps got around her I think you're fine. Even if the backpack doesn't go all the way down her back. This backpack is perfect and has been a lifesaver for us! My dog protested it at first but now it's just habit. Good luck!

The spacing between the wires is 2 inches. A 15lb dog should not be able to jump over as it is 37-1/2inches tall...a small dog should not be able to move it too much if it is not anchored, but will definitely not be able to move it if the anchors are in place. Anchors are include in each set. Our adult Pugs and they are able to jump in and out of the gate threshold fairly easily.

I have a tall 15 lb cat who is crated in this. He has more than enough space to move around. I can't imagine a 6lb dog having very many issues with this crate.

I'm 5' 0" and can't step over it :-) ! The gate is a little hard to open, so they may have some trouble depending on how strong they are. If you don't want them opening it, you could probably put a strap around it. It is a nice sturdy gate, I took 2 panels off to use as a gate. 4 panels are big enough for my Maltese. Good luck.

Please let me know if you get a reply, I want to know the same for a 15 or 16 pound dog. It is a very sturdy crate.
